JW Marriott Lima in Peru
There aren’t a lot of chain hotels in Peru that are familiar to Americans, but there are a few that should be a consideration for travelers who are used to the amenities and standards put forth by a U.S.-based chain. The JW Marriott in Lima’s Miraflores district is one of those hotels.
Standing majestically in front of the grand cliffs of the region and providing amazing panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean, the JW Marriott is a 25-story modern glass tower that has become a well-known city landmark. Conveniently located near the LarcoMar entertainment district, this hotel is suitable for both leisure and business guests and was the first non-smoking hotel in Peru.
The guest accommodations at the JW Marriott Lima are no less than luxurious and each one offers a full or limited ocean view. You’ll find both rooms and suites at this hotel, all spacious and modern with a variety of features. The deluxe rooms offer one king or two double beds as well as marble bathrooms with separate tub and shower, robes and slippers, hairdryer, small table, in-room safe, iron and ironing board, and coffee maker. Executive rooms feature the same amenities but also offer access to the hotel’s Executive Lounge, which is open daily and provides a hot breakfast buffet, midday snack, afternoon tea, evening hors d’oeuvres, desserts, and other complimentary services. The Executive level Presidential Suite is a one-bedroom unit with a king bed, 1.5 bathrooms, whirlpool tub, baby grand piano, and a separate living and dining area with a table that seats 8. A total of 12 suites and 288 rooms are available. All rooms offer high speed internet access for a fee and wifi is available in public areas as well.
Hotel-wide amenities include a lovely pool and a fairly sizeable fitness room that features cardiovascular equipment, free weights, and Cybex weight machines. Complimentary fitness classes are offered on a regular basis and personal trainers are on the premises several hours per day. Massages, body, and facial treatments are also available to hotel guests. The beach is about a mile from the hotel and easily reached on foot, by cab, or via public transportation. A variety of other recreational activities are available nearby as is a large shopping area.
The JW Marriott Lima boasts one restaurant, La Vista, which offers pretty views of the Pacific Ocean and serves a variety of international cuisine. It is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There’s also a lobby bar that serves light fare and alcoholic beverages. Several other restaurants and fast food eateries are located within walking distance of the hotel.
For those looking to plan a meeting or social event, there are 5 meeting rooms at the JW Marriott for a total of more than 13,000 feet of flexible event space. The largest is a 6,000 square foot ballroom that can accommodate up to 600 guests for weddings or other special occasions. An onsite planner is available to handle all the details.
